Sony Pictures Television’s Maxine Productions has bolstered its leadership team with the addition of Anneka Jones as EVP of Development & Current. The unscripted content veteran and former Left/Right executive will expand Maxine's robust development slate, drive sales strategy, and oversee current series and feature productions.
Her hiring signals the continued growth of Mary Robertson’s Maxine amidst a strong run for the company, which has successfully navigated industry shifts in recent years, releasing several groundbreaking and critically acclaimed works that have sparked widespread cultural conversations.
Robertson, the Emmy-winning Founder of Maxine, said, “Having been fortunate to work alongside Anneka for over a decade at Left/Right, I know firsthand the qualities for which she has become recognized around the industry. She is a dynamic, versatile executive and producer, capable of combining journalistic rigor with strong commercial instincts. Her addition marks a pivotal moment for Maxine, as we build on a wave of successes and invest in an ambitious nonfiction slate. I look forward to our next chapter together.”
Jones said, "I am thrilled to join forces with Mary, a long-time friend and collaborator, as well as her incredible team at Maxine. I am honored to have the opportunity to build upon the company's remarkable success by expanding its production capacity and accelerating its creative efforts."
At Maxine, Jones will contribute to an upcoming slate that includes an untitled project on the Alexander Brothers, the high-profile real estate agents facing harrowing criminal allegations, as well as several soon-to-be-announced series and features in development with Vox/New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, Buzzfeed, The Hollywood Reporter, and more.
